Aura Dolby Atmos Support

interesting read and pretty much confirms what I’d said

whilst the Aura does have options in device settings->sound for DD-trueHD and DTS-HD its not passing on this to my AV receiver at least not via Plex.

its most likely a combination of the two, possibly more on the plex side that’s the issue.

Got me thinking though, will try connecting my USB HD and see how it handles various files that way when I have time.

Is your Aura connected directly to your AVR or is it via the TV? If the latter, it may be that your TV is not capable of passthrough for Atmos?

Hi Barry,

With me it’s connected directly to my Denon AVR-X2500H via HDMI, I have no problems with DTS-HD MA or True HD using my Nvidia Shield or Windows PC which are also connected, I’ve tired every single option available on the Aura, but nothing changes, the best I can achieve is DD+ or DTS.

EDIT: Ignore this post… Your post above explains, thanks!

Hi Barry,

Thanks for the information, that is good news. Would you also be able to find out about DTS-HD and DTS:X support? A quick try of a selection of local files (that all play fine and pass the correct audio to the AVR when using the Shield) using Plex on the Aura with passthrough set to HDMI shows:

DTS-HD Master and DTS:X: Files play but stutter, sound continually drops out and is white noise.

Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Atmos: Some files refuse to play, ones that do the sound is just stereo.

Obviously it would be great to get all of the sound formats correctly passed from the Aura over HDMI.
